Tabletop Joe

"Singin' Tabletop Joe,

Tabletop Joe,

Now everyone will know Tabletop Joe"

"I have trouble with the pedals,

but I have a strong left hand

and I could play Stravinsky on a baby grand.

I said "I'm gonna join the circus'cause that's I where I belong"

so I went to Coney Island, I was singin'this song:

Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe,

Now everyone knows Tabletop Joe.

And they gave me top billing in the Dreamland show

I had my own orchestra starring Tabletop Joe

and the man without a body proved everyone wrong

I was rich and I was famous and I was where I belonged.

Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe now everyone knows,

Tabletop Joe singing Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe..."

-Tom Waits
